That’s the point I’ve been making here. I know it seems ‘boring’ to make damage the de-facto standard of ‘did you win this fight’ but it’s also the one thing every class is capable of bringing to the table. So, you design with that in mind.
The usual suspects, I see. Well, here I am.
Honestly I wouldn’t mind if they had more fight mechanics like Sun King, where there’s a part of the fight where healing something to full health is an actual factual win condition. It’s fun on those types of fights to spec into a ton of off-healing and pouring it into Kaelthas.
I don’t think it would be good to make every raid have something like that. But it works as a once in a while treat.
I swear I didn’t do it officer. I just keep ending up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
We are mostly all getting along just fine in this thread.
Only one poster looking for drama and we’ve escaped the notice of the other usual trolls somehow.

I’ll fix that. HEALERS SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO DPS.
or
HEALERS NEED TO DPS.
Am I doing it right?
I think Healers as is are great. For a reactive playstyle, your ‘filler’ being to do damage feels right, to me.
Oh no, the sub 1K io LFR hero is telling us we’re bad players! Whatever will we do now?!?
Objectively if you aren’t using the standard tool you are comparing apples to oranges.
Let me ask you this.
Are your spells still assigned to 123456789-+ or have you changed them to be something more logical / ergonomic?
I only ever allow myself to use the letters in the class’ and spec’s name for my keybinds per toon.
I use healbot but for everything else it’s standard UI. I only use key modifier macros for everything else.
So for the most part yes its 1234567890+
Have you moved your character / target frames from the top right corner of your monitor to somewhere easier to read at a glance?
No. I find such modifications distasteful.
Have you moved your car seat so the peddles line up with your feet?
Most of my damage comes from passives/semi-passives like trinkets, potions, dots. Non passive stuff is easy since I know when I need to get healing globals out and when I can vibe.
I’m playing a video game not flying a fighter jet.
If the game requires more input than mouse, wasd, and 1-5 you are doing something wrong.
But I can totally understand why optimization prone players get all upset when you call them out on their shenanigans.
You must hate Starcraft.
Diamond league and played in top 25% NA.
Played at MLG 2011 Providence.
I see, just full of it then.
I mean I go into the options menu that the game provides for me, I open the keybindings tab that the game also provides for me, and I change my keybinds so I can press buttons that are near my left hand instead of on the opposite side of the keyboard.
